| Help me rebirth my old turntable You may want to consider moving up to a tubed phono preamp.I switched from clearaudio's cheapest solid state preamp to a Jolida JD9 2 and the difference in soundstage, presence and "tubeness" was noticeable. | |
| Fixing a scratch in an otherwise good lp >stevecham3Nice scope, but wearing the Jewelers glasses makes you look like a mad scientist ;) | |
| Fixing a scratch in an otherwise good lp I have successfully done it a couple of times. I don't claim any special skills just the right equipment, patience and a steady hand.I used:1. Jewelers illuminated magnifying glasses, to keep both hands free, I used 8.3X magnification.2. A belt d... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? For me the tale will be told when GVF makes it’s second and more albums. Do they grow and expand their sound into something unique that allows them to mature as artists?If it’s more of the same then they’re just another Zeppelin cover band that lu... | |
| Carpenters Music on Vinyl released a pretty good sounding double record package called "The Collection" last year. It includes all the hits plus some deep album tracks and obviously songs that the Singles 69-73 doesn't have. | |
| VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner Mine is about 10 years old and I've never had any problems with draining the fluid. After draining I regularly flush mine out further with water. It sounds like the drain going out to the hose might be clogged. Might want to check again with VP... | |

| Headphone cable, what do you do? What model is your Audeze?I purchased a good quality 15 foot headphone cable to replace the stock one I got with my lcd-x from Moon Audio. | |
| When your hearing is not very good...... I know it's not a popular device for most audiophiles but I compensate for my upper frequency register loss with an equalizer. I was using an old harmen-kardon EQ-8 I bought back in the late 80's but it recently died.I purchased a Schitt Loki abo... | |
| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! Don’t make the mistake of wondering over to the Better Records site like I did.Yes, they get the best sounding copies of vintage albums, but the cost will start to break anyone’s budget. | |
| Audiophile LP's Check out the Better Records web store.I know the owner can be a bit of a "hard" salesman with a pitch that can get annoying.However, I can personally state that Hot Stampers are no hype, The owner of the site has been able to perfect a system th... | |
| Stylus Photos - Opinions Please Depending upon how old those stylii are I'd be more concerned about degradation of the materials controlling the movement of the cantilever than the needles. As pointed out by the gentleman above, if it sounds good and isn't damaging the vinyl yo... | |
| High End is Dead? I was told that vinyl is dead, analogue is dead, CD's are dead, the music business is dead, but I think Mr. Townshend is still correct: Landslide, rocks are fallingFalling down 'round our very headsWe tried but you were yawningLook again, rock is... | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death Agreed, like many of Water's solo albums it's a grower. I had to listen a couple of times to "get it". I hated "Pros and Cons" when it first came out, but then I got over the fact that Gilmour wasn't playing guitar and now it's one of my favorites. | |
